Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The improvement in computational technology due to the increment in data processing speed, data management, and storage, in addition to the development of mathematical numerical methods, has allowed the possibility to develop complex tools for analyzing problems in all science and engineering fields. In this way, Computational Fluid dynamics (CFDs) has become a powerful tool for reproducing many situations computationally without the need to build a real model. Fluids have a wide range of applications; consequently, the understanding of fluid mechanics is essential to every form of technological development, including engineering, industrial, weather, biology, and medical areas. Thus, the motivation for developing this Special Issue is to expose the importance of fluid flow in all scientific areas. It is a pleasure to invite you to submit research related to experimental CFD, including symmetry, asymmetry, and physical or geometrical descriptions of fluid behavior. The following topics are welcome in this issue:
- CFDs with industrial applications, including metallurgical, hydrometallurgical, chemical, fluids inside reactors, and other processing methods.
- CFDs with applications in aerodynamics and automotive analysis.
- Stationery and dynamic fluid analysis, theoretical and mathematical analysis, and analysis of streams, including the application of numerical models and numerical approaches.
- Thermo-fluids, micro-channels, nano-fluids, and mass flow problems.
- Hydraulics, hydrodynamics, and magneto-hydrodynamic applications.
- Fluids with applications for climate, weather, and environmental examinations.
- Fluids flow simulations with biological and medical applications.
- The measurement and characterization of fluid properties.
- Analysis of laminar, transient, and turbulent fluid flows.
- Analysis of fluids in porous media and hydraulics applications.
- Analysis of viscosity, inertial, capillarity, and buoyancy forces.
- Theoretical and mathematical analysis of fluid mechanic models.
- CFD within civil engineering works e.g. bridges, dams, urban drainage systems.
- CFD within applications of multiphase flow, turbidity plumes, gravity currents etc.
- Advances in Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics
Papers that include the experimental testing and treatment of data obtained with particle indicators, flowmeters, and other instruments are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
